The shorts are very comfortable, and the material feels nice to the touch. It's easy to adjust the size. A downside is the poorly and carelessly sewn buttons, but it's easy to fix. The pockets are practically placed and spacious.
Soft shorts designed as a shorter rendition of the trusted CPU (Combat Patrol Uniform) style. This version comes with 8 pockets, broad belt loops, and a button-closure. The abundance of pockets makes them ideal for both city life and outdoor pursuits.
Crafted from 100% cotton RipStop fabric, known for its durability, lightness, breathability, and comfortable texture.
The shorts include eight pockets:
- two traditional pockets,
- two side cargo pockets secured with Velcro and a button,
- two flat buttoned rear pockets,
- two flat front pockets intended for a phone or multitool.
The CPU model features reinforced rear areas with an extra fabric layer. The waist is equipped with a welt for better adjustment and a tailored fit.
Beneath the two front belt loops are D-Rings, designed for attaching items like a tactical lanyard.

Very comfortable shorts with a lot of functional pockets – especially the two small ones in the front stand out as a plus. The material is durable and probably won't get damaged quickly in the wash. In my opinion, the sizing is accurate.

The shorts are great to wear and have two practical small front pockets. The material is really very durable. I use them in tough conditions and they are both sturdy and comfortable. The pockets are spacious and well arranged, which I really like.

Overall, these are good pants, very comfortable and perfect for hot days. A typical issue, as is often the case, is poorly sewn buttons. A nice feature by the pockets is the additional button closures in case the Velcro gives out under heavier loads.

I have to admit, even though the pockets with drawstrings and stoppers are a bit overcomplicated for me, I'm satisfied with the pants. It's a proven version of high-quality cotton ripstop shorts, typical for Helikon. As with most clothes of this type, the buttons need to be resewn if you want truly sturdy fastenings. I was pleasantly surprised by the depth of the main and back pockets—they hold your hand as well as larger items. The cargo pockets have an added safeguard with buttons, which is very practical for heavier loads. The wide belt loops are stronger than in BDU models. I believe it's an excellent choice for hot days, although they dry a bit slower and may be less durable than polycotton versions. However, they are very light and you hardly feel them on, which I count as a big plus. I definitely recommend both the store and Helikon for maintaining high quality and expanding the range of both classic and new models.
